Subject: Request for Clarification Case # CRO

Dear Sir or Madam,

Other than the I-134 and my documentation for that form, is there anything else that you need of my documents (the Petitioner) to be provided at the Interview? I see nothing in the I-129F instructions, or in the instructions that were sent in the packet to my fiancee that says to provide or bring a complete copy of all the documents submitted at that time, however rumor has it that you need these. I hesitate to mail original documents such as my passport, birth certificate, and other sensitive documents overseas.

Please let me know if any of my documents as the petitioner are required at the time of the interview. I assume since my I 129F was approved that my portion of the process is complete. (OTHER THAN: the I134 and supporting financial documentation.)

Please advise.

K and H

Dear Madam:

Thank you for your e-mail message.

Please be informed that you do not need to mail any of your personal documents to us as it is not requested. Please review the checklist that was mailed to your spouse with the packet of instructions to review the documents that are requested for the interview.

Regards,

Consular staff

We only sent originals of the I-134. The tax returns were obviously copies! However since I am self-employed I didn't need to file any other documents, and made more than enough $ and didn't need to send bank statements, etc. either.

I marked each document we sent with our case number and also put that it was a true copy and an original document was available upon request. I sent a 2nd I-134 signed and notarized for H to keep with him in case they lost the one he sent with Packet #3. I believe he sent the original of the police report, but I could be mistaken. And he did not send his passport, just copies of all pages that had anything on them.

I was given a lot of advice on this site to send originals of everything and am glad that was totally unnecessary.

I found emailing them much better than calling. If you have instructions from them in an email it's something you can show them if there is a problem later.

Mafesh Muskida, You are welcome. And don't worry if they don't answer you immediately, sometimes it took a week for them to answer me, but they always did. I suggest you enlist your wife's assistance in contacting them. I think they were far more responsive to my inquiries than they might have been to H's. I always put the case number in the subject line. I was always EXTREMELY polite but firm in my messages. If you make them angry or bother them everyday it can't help your case.

When is your interview?

Salaam,

so why don's you ask the to give the phone to some smart guy ?? lol

i see now that your I-130 is approved as well as your I-129f so i think the I-130 route is better for you ...why did you choose the I-129f interview ?? and if your interview is the k3 one you will not be asked to show up the I-864 ?? they are asking for only the I-134 ?? i am confused :S
